In answer to Heidi's post of Paul Shaviv's article, School Libraries are still interested in books. While I have both print books and eBooks in my library, my students prefer to read from a regular book. My circulation figures prove that fact. Also, I need reference books that are on a Middle School level. When Lower and Middle School students search for information on the web, they find articles on an adult reading level, while I have many reference books specifically aimed at their age group. Yes, we are reading more on our phones and devices but the book is far from dead. School libraries need to stock both.
